49ers
fourth at MPSFs
Staff reports
The Long Beach
State women's water polo team lost to USC, 11-8, Sunday in
the third-place game of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation
Championships, concluding a memorable run though the conference
playoffs.
The Beach upset Cal Friday to advance to the MPSF semifinals
for the first time. The victory was LBSU's first-ever over
the Golden Bears.
The 49ers followed with a loss to top-seeded Stanford Saturday.
That loss, coupled with the setback Sunday to USC, couldn't
dampen this season's achievements.
The 49ers finished the season with a 19-13 overall record,
the most victories in school history. The fourth-place finish
at the MPSF finals was also the 49ers' highest ever, and a
6-5 mark during MPSF play was also the best ever.
Angelica Garcia had four goals and Ashley Richardson added
two against USC, which built a 7-2 lead on its way to the
victory.
In other Beach athletics:
